Valentina Berardinone (b. 1929, Naples, Italy) lives and works in Milan, Italy. In the course of her research, she experimented with different techniques and media, from drawing to sculpture and artist’s cinema, taking part in avant-garde exhibitions such as Campo Urbano (Como, 1969).
She made important artists’ films in Super 8, including A Vista Pinocchio (1976) and Euridice (1979), based on self-representation, self-perception, incommunicability, and the relationship between the human body and the technological instrument. The Museo del Novecento in Milan dedicated the exhibition Il Cinema di Valentina Berardinone, meeting with the director and screening (2019) to this phase of her career. In 2013, she took part in the exhibition Autoritratti. Inscriptions of the feminine in contemporary Italian art at MAMbo in Bologna.
In the same year, she exhibited in the exhibition Milano e gli anni della grande speranza at Bocconi University in Milan and in 2016 at the exhibition, curated by Cristina Castro and Elena Di Raddo, La parola agli artisti. Art and commitment in Milan in the 1970s at the MAC. Lissone Art Museum.
